Advent is over, but some Christmas markets are still open in January. Our Christmas market highlights this year were Gödens Castle, the Sunday market at the Museum Harbour in Leer and, of course, the mulled wine stall at the small Christmas market in Varel.
A walk through the salt marshes
30.11.2025
Sunshine and freezing cold! The salt marsh trail runs from the holiday homes to Sehestedt lido, then along the coast and back through the meadows to the holiday home area. Even in winter, it’s teeming with birds – though you’re unlikely to come across many people.
Fancy a seal-watching trip?
05.07.2025
The grey seal population in the Wadden Sea has continued to grow in recent years. In 2024, over 12,000 animals were counted, almost 15% more than the previous year. And it seems that Germany’s largest predator and its relatives, the harbour seals, are very much at home here.
In summer, nature park tours to the seals’ resting places are offered in the Jadebusen. Why not set off from Wilhelmshaven on an exciting seal safari?
Our bicycle service
26.01.2025
A special service for cycling enthusiasts: our holiday home now has a repair station for bicycles and e-bikes … complete with a wall mount, air pump, tool kit, tyre levers and a repair kit. Should you ever have a problem with your bike whilst out and about, you’re sure to find a solution.
Advent magic at the holiday home
21.12.2024
The smell of freshly baked biscuits fills the rooms and creates a festive atmosphere. 🍪 It’s so cosy to enjoy the anticipation of Christmas whilst baking biscuits. How are you spending Advent?
Happy festive season!
The playground is finished!
16.11.2024
Shortly after the autumn half-term holidays, the new playground for the youngest visitors in the Jade-Sehestedt holiday home area was completed …
The Langwarder Groden
20.05.2024
How about a trip to Langwarder Groden?
At the northernmost tip of the Butjadingen peninsula, a short circular walk (approx. 5 km) leads through the salt marshes, partly along wooden planks. Here you can experience the constant ebb and flow of the tides and the coastal wildlife up close. A wonderful experience, not just when the sun is shining!
They're back!
24.02.2024
The Jadebusen and the Wesermarsch are a birdwatcher’s paradise. Seabirds, herons, storks, swallows, wild geese and many other species inhabit the coastal areas and the meadows and marshes of the peninsula. Some migrate south in winter and are currently returning. The area is also a wintering ground for migratory birds from the polar regions.
There are birdwatching stations and vantage points all around the Jadebusen – one of them right in Jade-Sehestedt at the Schwimmendes Moor. A must for any birdwatcher.
Winter wonderland on the Jadebusen

Rubbish weather
11.11.2023
It’s cold, windy and rainy outside – just typical miserable November weather.
Never mind. The tea’s good, and, surprisingly enough, the seals always win at Ludo.
Another step towards more sustainability!

A new solar panel system was installed on the carport in October. The mini PV system (or balcony power plant) delivers up to 600 W of electrical power. Of course, that isn’t enough to run the wallbox or the sauna independently. But we expect that our basic electricity requirements – i.e. for the fridge, TV, internet, lighting, etc. – will be roughly halved.
And all that’s needed on top of that is 100% green electricity.
